Description

There seems to be a discrepancy in the Parquet format created_by field regarding how it should be filled out. The parquet-mr library uses this value to enable/disable features based on the parquet-mr version here. Meanwhile, users are encouraged to make use of the application version here. It seems like there are multiple fields needed for an application and library version.
